In this review I examine recent discoveries of antibiotic resistance genes in agricultural animals. Two types of antibiotic resistance gene discoveries will be discussed: the us...
متن کاملRestricting the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals and its associations with antibiotic resistance in food-producing animals and human beings: a systematic review and meta-analysis

متن کاملAntibiotic Growth-Promoters in Food Animals
By Peter Hughes and John Heritage, University of Leeds, UK There has been a developing controversy surrounding the use of antibiotics as growth promoters for food animals. These drugs are used at low doses in animal feeds and are considered to improve the quality of the product, with a lower percentage of fat and a higher protein content in the meat. Other benefits of the use of antibiotic grow...
متن کاملFood Safety: Alternatives to Antibiotic Use
ufactured feeds that complement specific forages. For example, when alfalfa hay is used, the amounts of protein and calcium included in the concentrate can be significantly reduced. However, horse owners often have difficulty distinguishing among forages, making the successful application of this approach difficult. The approach with the most potential to reduce nutrient excretion by horses wou...
